A bone marrow transplant delivers healthy bone marrow stem cells into the patient. It replaces bone marrow that is either not working properly or has been destroyed (ablated) by chemotherapy or radiation. Bone marrow is the soft, fatty tissue inside human bones. Stem cells are immature cells in the bone marrow. Some stem cells grow into different parts of your blood.

These parts are:

• Red blood cells (which carry oxygen to your tissues)
• White blood cells (which fight infection)
• Platelets (which help your blood clot)

In a bone marrow surgery, patients receive healthy stem cells after your own bone marrow has been destroyed.

Brachial plexus surgery is expected to be limited either to a region between the midpoint of the humerus and the shoulder (in which case the brachial plexus block should be an interscalene block). Because of the distribution of the local anesthetics on the various portions of the brachial plexus, surgeries crossing the midpoint of the humerus often reveal patchy, unanesthetized portions of the arm. Such procedure probably is not performed under regional nerve block alone. This surgery is known for curing such type of disease.

Ear reconstructive surgery, is usually done to set prominent ears back closer to the head or to reduce the size of large ears. For the most part, the operation is done on children between the ages of four and 14. Ears are almost fully grown by age four, and the earlier the surgery, the less teasing and ridicule the child will have to endure. Ear surgery on adults is also possible, and there are generally no additional risks associated with ear surgery on an older patient. All Surgery Carries Some Uncertainty and Risk. When ear surgery is performed by a qualified, experienced surgeon, complications are infrequent and usually minor. Nevertheless, as with any operation, there are risks associated with surgery and specific complications associated with this procedure. Occasionally, patients develop an infection in the cartilage, which can cause scar tissue to form. Such infections are usually treated with antibiotics; rarely, surgery may be required to drain the infected area.

Youth is always equated with greater attractiveness and the face is no exception. Increasing lines, wrinkles, and sagging of the skin makes a face look more aged. But symmetry and good facial proportions can still make the aging face very appealing. Patients who have experienced accidents, severe injuries, and other incidents also require reconstructive plastic surgery for comfort and part of their recovery. Face reconstructive Surgery is used to solve such type of problems.

The Effect of Facial Bone Reconstruction

This surgery usually results in a more natural facial appearance.

Facial Bone Reconstruction Procedure

Surgical treatment to repair deformities or trauma of the head and face (craniofacial). There are four major bones of the face: the maxilla, the zygoma, the mandible, and the frontal bone of the cranium. Surgery specifics depend on the type and severity of deformity or injury.

Pieces of bone (bone grafts) may be taken from the pelvis, ribs, or skull to fill in the spaces where bones of the face and head have been moved. Small metal screws and plates may be used to hold the bones in place. The jaws may be wired together to hold the new bone positions in place.

Candidates for Treatment

Those who have suffered:

• birth defects (such as hypertelorism, Crouzon's disease, Apert's syndrome)
• injuries to the head, face, or jaws (maxillofacial)
• tumors
• deformities caused by treatments of tumors

Risks

All surgery carries risk, and you should be fully aware of the medical risks associated with this procedure before you consent to surgery. Your surgeon will discuss these risks with you during your consultation, and you are encouraged to ask questions if there is anything you do not understand.

You will be required to sign a consent form before surgery stating that you have been informed of the risks involved; that you understand those risks; and that you accept those risks. This is standard hospital protocol and surgery will not be performed if you do not sign.

It is your obligation to inform your surgeon of key medical information that may influence the outcome of your surgery or may increase the level of risk. These include medications you are taking, history of disease, medical complications, etc.

Risks and risk rates vary from patient to patient depending on a range of factors. No two people are alike. The risks listed below are possible risks associated with this type of surgery and are mentioned regardless of how remote the possibility:

Bleeding. Infection. Nerve damage (cranial nerve dysfunction). Permanent scarring. Partial or total loss of bone grafts. Need for follow-up surgery.


Surgery
Time required: 4 - 12 hours
